The Australian Rugby Union has announced that tickets will go on sale for the 2014 Gold Coast Sevens, the opening round of the HSBC Sevens World Series 2014/15, on Tuesday 24 June.

The event will take place on 11-12 October at the Cbus Super Stadium (formerly Skilled Stadium), kicking off a season of Rugby Sevens, from which four nations will qualify directly for the 2016 Olympic Games.

In October 2013 The Australians reached the final of their home event, going down to New Zealand.

"We’re delighted to bring Australia’s premier international Sevens tournament back to the Gold Coast for the fourth year in succession in October," said Andrew Fagan, General Manager for National Teams and Rugby Operations at the ARU. "It’s a place where the team generally does really well with the backing of the crowd and somewhere they feel at home."
